Energy can get wasted through several means. One of the most obvious ones is friction. However, entropy also increases - and energy therefore gets wasted - in other ways; for example, when there is a heat transfer between two objects that are at different temperatures; when eddies are produced in a water current (or electrical current); when electrical current gets converted to heat in a resistance; and through several other means. Quite often, the intention of an energy transformation is to produce one type of energy (for example, light in a light-bulb); but additional (undesired) types of energy are produces as well, quite often heat.

What energy transformation occurs that makes an object stop moving?

When an object stops moving, the kinetic energy it possesses is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, and deformation of the object itself. This transformation causes the object to lose its kinetic energy and come to a rest.


What does it mean when you say that energy transformation are not '' efficient''?

When energy transformations are not efficient, it means that there is a significant amount of energy lost as waste during the process. This can result in lower overall productivity and increased costs due to the inefficient use of energy. Improving the efficiency of energy transformations can help conserve resources and reduce environmental impact.
